Our Asian hero
Ever wondered how Hideki Matsui, least ostentatious of Yankee outfielders, spends his hard-earned paychecks? My roommate just wrote with the following:
"Time Magazine's Asian edition recently did a cover story on AsianHeroes, one of whom is Yankee outfielder Hideki Matsui. And let's just say Matsui really apparently enjoys his Cinemax After Dark among American innovations.
" 'Indeed, his only eccentricity, if it can be called that, is his extensive private library of adult videos. His refreshing ability to laugh self-deprecatingly about his porno collection, reporters say, is one reason why fans and even non fans have taken to him so much. Says former reporter Isao Hirooka: 'Hideki just wants to be like ordinary people.' '
"Even odder is that in the very next paragraph, Matsui is described ashaving, "meaty, calloused hands."
Ew. But he's still my Asian hero!

You should probably know that I lifted that whole thing from someone else's blog:

Duly noted. I was wondering where that Cinemax After Dark reference came from...
